Nice set up you have there, the Crane 3 looks so different to the others stabilization systems.
What do you like most of the Crane 3 compared to the Ronin S?
Thank you for posting it, I order the Z6 for some video projects I have and this post is very helpful to plan my set up.

P.D. I hope you get better with that cold.

In case you are not going to use heavy lenses, then I would recommend the Weebill instead of the Crane 3 as it is more practical and fits flat in your bag. Both the Crane 3 and Weebill have a similar holding in the sense that you unscrew the Weebill feet and mount it on top if the battery holder which makes it same as the Crane 3.
The Crane 3 is now much easier to maneuver as you close the feet which becomes a column and you hold with your left hand while the right hand holds the handle. This the Ronin cannot do. All other shortcomings of the Ronin S vs The Crane 2 has now been surpassed with the Crane 3.
The long and short is for a small light rig nothing beats the Weebill and for pro work and maneuverability, The Crane 3 has everything plus the cherry on the cake which is the new holding stance.
The Weebill with an XT3 or EOS R or Sony A7 RIII is easily a one small bag set up (No heavy or long lenses) Travel - Street - Tight events..... and you are off to the finish line.
This is not to denigrate the Ronin S which of course is coming from a long lineage of products.
To conclude, I would recommend to get the Weebill for the Z6 unless you need a more gear load.
Both Crane 3 and Weebill can be controlled from your mobile and both have Follow Focus.
Have a look at Jason Vong video:
Thank you for your wishes. I am popping medicine like candy as I have an important shoot tomorrow followed by grueling 4 days of the same.
I went yesterday yo B&H and compared the Ronin S, Moza Air 2 and the Weebill Lab, the last one is so small, light and convenient to travel or just carry it with my camera and lenses while the Ronin and Moza are huge and heavy.
I nee to buy it this week and it is so hard to make a decision with so many options specially considering the price of the Weebill and Moza are the same.
I am planning to use it with the 24-70mm f4 so I guess the Weebill lab is the best option.
